Even though it may never be "solved", for years the argument has been that at the grandmaster level there are so many draws no one will be able to beat the other anymore. I don't remember the percentage of draws that were being played at the top levels but how do modern programs compare when it comes to draw percentages? Are computers proving that chess is NOT being played out?
